72 here. Until about 2 years ago, a motored bike was not in the picture. Life changes, for many reasons. I have vintage, Ergo 10, and now 1 road e-bike (rear hub 250watts max). There are classes of assist level to be considered, as well as weight and function (usage). The motored and standard road bikes can co-exist, yes...even complement each other. I have hills - an e-bike benefit is as the 'day off' rider that keeps my riding consistency high. I also ride muchly on public 2 lane roads and at times getting assisted up to about 14-15mph can be a confidence booster in traffic. And the 'greater range' of e-rides is 100% enjoyable.
We are a one car couple.
Love your Mother...Earth.
and do it with style
Across 60 years, the changes seem evolutionary, not revolutionary. It is a big cycling Universe, accept it all.
